Benin Vacations

Voodoo rituals are still carried out in Benin, but don’t worry – the people are friendly and won’t bewitch you! So you can visit the rather eerie skin and flesh fetish markets and Voodoo temples in Cotonou without being turned into a toad or anything. If witchcraft isn’t your thing, don’t miss taking a trip to the two beautiful highland National Wildlife Parks, where you can see tata somba -mud and clay fortified farms built by the Betammariba Tribe. The lake villages are mostly unspoiled by tourism and you can visit them in a pirogue. The royal palaces in Abomey are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Capital, Porto Novo is full of fascinating museums and you will find the best beaches in Grand Popo.
